How We Protect Your Data
Filing a class action claim requires giving out real personal info. We take that responsibility seriously. Here is exactly what we store, what we do not, and who has access.
What we store
- Profile info: Your legal name, current mailing address, email, and phone number. Stored encrypted at rest in Supabase (AES-256).
- Filed claim record: A log of which settlements you filed, the date, and whether the administrator has issued payment. We keep this for 7 years for legal compliance and payment tracking.
- Signature: A one-time signature capture per claim. Never reused across settlements. Stored only long enough to embed in the PDF, then deleted from our servers.
What we do not store
- Payment info. Settlements pay you directly — we never see the money. Pro subscription payments go through Apple/Google/RevenueCat; we never see your card.
- SSN / financial account numbers. Class action forms do not require these. If a form ever asks (rare), the app blanks the field — you fill it manually.
- Browsing/behavioral profiles. We do not track cross-app behavior. GA4 on the website uses only anonymized traffic data; user-provided data collection is off.
Who has access to your data
- You. Fully view + export + delete your data from the app at any time.
- Our two engineers. Read-only access to production Supabase for debugging + support. Access is audit-logged.
- Settlement administrators. When you file a claim, they get your name, address, and signature on the PDF. That is the whole point — the administrator needs to know who to pay.
- No one else. We never sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. See our privacy policy for full details.
Infrastructure
- Backend: Supabase (US East region, SOC 2 Type II certified).
- Web: TLS 1.3 with HSTS preload eligibility. All connections encrypted in transit.
- App: React Native / Expo SDK 54. Reviewed by Apple + Google on each release.
- Auth: Supabase Auth with password hashing (bcrypt) + optional Google / Apple Sign In.
Account deletion
You can delete your account from the app at any time (Settings → Account → Delete). Profile and subscription records are permanently wiped within 24 hours. However, filed-claim records and consent-to-file audit logs are retained for 7 years under legal compliance requirements. See privacy policy for the full retention schedule.
